ADOLF CARL JAGER, OF TYSSA, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

GARMENT-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 554,066, dated February 4, 1896.

Application filed December 24, 1894. Serial No. 532,875. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLF CARL JAGER, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Tyssa, Kingdom of Bohemia, and Empire of Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for attachment to coats and dresses, &c. by means of which said garments can be hung up, and which, when not in use for that purpose, folds down, and thus prevents the suspending device from becoming visible when the garment is worn, whereas with chains or cloth tabs these latter often protrude above the collar of the coat, &c., and are, otherwise objectionable.

My invention comprises a spring metallic half-hoop having an eye at each end, said eyes being inclined with respect to the said half-hoop, and a cross piece or bar having at each end elongated eyes engaging the eyes of the half-loop, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

The accompanying drawings show my improved suspending device for garments.

Figure 1 shows afront and edge view. Fig. 2 shows the device in use.

The suspending device consists for the main part of an elastic metallic half-hoop a,

which is provided at its two ends with rings or eyes I), said rings or eyes being inclined at a slight angle to the half-hoop. In these eyes is fastened a cross piece or bar of stout wire 0, the bent ends of which are likewise formed into elongated eyes d. By means of these latter eyes the device is sewed tightly to the cloth of the garment in such a manner that the half-hoop points downward. On hanging up the coat or dress the wearer takes hold of the half-hoop and turns it up. Under the influence of the inclined eyes 17 the half-hoop a is now under a certain pressure, and when the garment is removed from the hook or bracket the said half-hoop a folds down.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A garment-hangercomprising a spring metallic half-loop having an eye at each end, said eyes being inclined with respect to the said half-loop and a cross piece or bar having at each end elongated eyes engaging the eyes of the ha]f-loop; substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
